LOS ANGELES — The last few years haven't been easy for Rickie Fowler.
After being known as one of the world’s best young golfers in the mid-2010s, Fowler’s career started to skid. He missed the Masters in 2021, marking his first missed major since 2010. The former Oklahoma State star missed the Masters again in 2022 and 2023, and missed the cut at the PGA Championship in May. Fowler hasn’t played in the U.S. Open since 2020, when he tied for 49th.
But, he looked like his old self Thursday morning.
